in reply to Perl mindshare in web development

Is it time for the Perl community to start focussing on a dominant framework/templating system...

Which one?

(Be careful which one you pick. One candidate steadfastly refuses to pick a dominant templating system or database layer or....)

...and make it easier for ISPs to have a complete kit installed without too much fuss?

There ought to be a mod_perl replacement then that does as little as mod_php. Then the only trick is getting it installed by default by thousands of really cheap hosting places and Linux distributions.

    Now that FastCGI is available on more ISPs (due to Rails), you can do Perl that way. It's roughly equivalent to what you can do with mod_php.

    Perhaps someone should resurrect mod_tt.
